Freezing rain creates treacherous bridge icing from Houston to Beaumont, Texas on Friday, January 24, 2014. **No one was hurt in any of these accidents** Copyright strictly enforced. Learn more about driving on icy roads at: http://icyroadsafety.com 1.) A tractor-trailer rig hits an icy bridge in Winnie, Texas and jackknifes into the median, barely missing another truck that had lost control moments earlier. 2.) A pickup driver, just warned by the photographer about the ice on the bridge, loses control and crashes hard into the barrier. 3.) Dashcam view of the same accident. 4.) An SUV loses control on an icy bridge in Cleveland, Texas just after rounding the curve out of view. The sound of the slide and crash is heard. The tractor-trailer thankfully does not collide with the wrecked SUV. 5.) Dashcam: A pickup nearly slides out of control on I-10 east of Houston, but recovers. 6.) Shots of the wrecker pulling the tractor trailer in shot #1 out of the median.

Swift is not so swift. LOL My cousin is a claims adjuster. I hate truckers, but he does say that most wrecks involving big rigs are caused by 4 wheelers. I find that hard to believe, but he said that those are the facts whether we like it or not.

I'm just here because I know everything the drivers done wrong & what they should have done.
-
What a coincidence the truck was a Swift lol
-
Not sure if the first incident was due to the ice, or due to the fact that they were a Swift driver.
-
Those Swift guys just can't catch a break.
-
1st one was swift makes sense
-
Wait Wait not one but two SWIFT trucks wrecked in the same spot? lol

I can still remember on the eve of Saddam Hussein's capture, I was driving for Swift, Auto-haul. I had a very long bridge to cross in West Virginia and it was all ice. I made it through safely.

According to NOAA NWS flooding cause the most severe weather deaths...not icy roads.

Those Guard rails did their jobs

Great work, it must take long for you but it is a hobby
I hear about these 100 car pile ups
Imagine you catch one, I don't hope for a pile up but I hope to see one
Keep up the good work!
In real life the crashes must sound louder -
SWIFT="Sure Wish I Finished Training!!!"

0:07 Trailer Swift?
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? -
I'm guessing what happened in the first clip was the bridge iced before the road, and he locked his brakes to try and stop and so when he hit the road again he spun out from the sudden change in traction.

Good know crash lol

swift must have parking lots full of destroyed trucks but on the other hand there mechanics probably kill it on hours every week lol

Texas usually starts spraying their roads and bridges with a by-product from brewing beer (no lie!) around the beginning of November and through the winter months to help stop the formation of black ice- but you still have to be aware of bridges and overpasses and go across them smoothly in cold weather and ....
STAY OFF THE BRAKES!!
